As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers returned to Investors Group field for an exhibition game Friday night, so did a beloved fan tradition.

The beer snake slithered into the stadium.

Bomber fans started the tradition of stacking as many empty plastic cups as possible at Canad Inns Stadium, but the football club banned the practice in 2010 due to safety concerns.

For the 2015 season, the organization decided to allow the beer cup chain at the Bombers new home, Investors Group Field.

Its creation is allowed in the new Fanatic Fan Zone, sections 140 and 141.
